Boy sees a bigfoot while clearing land
Account
As a teenager plowing bottomland alone, the witness stalled his tractor while turning under a tree. He then noticed a large dark bipedal figure along a distant fence line leaning side to side and moving a branch aside as if looking at him. After watching briefly he fled, managed to restart the tractor, and left; when he looked back the figure was gone.
